ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan (286 all out) easily beat Netherlands (205 all out) by 81 runs in Hyderabad

[MenInG]

Whilst the total is not humongous, Pakistan bowling is expected to defend this.

The only issue is that we have seen scores like 300+ being put on the scoreboard with ease so an uncomfortable ride coming up for Pakistan fans.

[Mankaded]

Need to open the bowling with Shaheen and Nawaz.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Need wickets upfront, batter can go big once they get settled in.

 

[Devadwal]

Easy win for Pakistan Shaheen will destroy Netherlands top order in PP

 

[7sins]

The wicket going to ease out under lights

 

[AAli98]

May well be enough thought I’d give team benefit of doubt but theyr beyond help. Send them home rather have bcci/host broadcaster take a hit. It’s not as if theyr going to invite Pak anytime soon.

 

[amirm]

Netherlands to win this one

 

[W63L35]

Netherlands scored 298 batting 2nd against Pakistan not too long ago.

The wicket going to ease out under lights

Heard dew start after 9pm in most venues

 

[szrana]

Easy win coming up for Netherlands

 

[MenInG]

Pakistan pacers needto take wickets in first 10 overs or its bust.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Pakistan pacers needto take wickets in first 10 overs or its bust.

I hope boys will not spoil weekend

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Pakistan may well win this easily, but those that think its an absolute certainty that we will overcome the dutch quickly haven't been watching much cricket recently.

Netherlands are a decent outfit and cant be taken lightly. They have shown this with the ball, lets hope they dont do it with the bat.

 

[emranabbas]

I think we Nedd to open with one pacer and one spinner

Pace is a Hugh advantage to batsmen in these conditions unless your swinging hard

 

[shah_1]

Pakistan has a great chance of losing

 

[emranabbas]

Line length is key for pacers
Really important to bowl in the right areas

 

[jattafridi]

Hopefully after 10 overs ned 49/3

 

[Kriketer]

Good batting by Pakistan. Time to defend the total and gain a bit of momentum in the opener

 

[Thanos]

NL will be all out ~220 or less.

 

[Omer2002]

too less of a score i am afraid. their batting is very good.

 

[jattafridi]

Babar need good captaincy ok

 

[jnaveen1980]

287 is a huge total in an actual world cup even for good teams let alone an associate side

 

[emranabbas]

Wicket incoming singh playing blind

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shahaeen is operating at low speeds 134 kph

 

[Devadwal]

Singh is a proper heck .don't think he can even score 10 runs

 

[7sins]

Shahaeen is operating at low speeds 134 kph

I'm sure he can bowl at high pace but now he mainly focus on line and length

 

[Syed1]

More than the pacers I think the spinners might trouble the dutch. Important for Shadab and Nawaz to show up

 

[shortbread]

The Netherlands openers haven't seen a bowler of Afridi's calibre!

 

[jnaveen1980]

This guy is only 20 years old. Must be too big an experience.

 

[Ahmed216]

Netherlands to win this one

Could really be hard to defend if conditions ease out further under lights like yesterday

 

[Devadwal]

Could really be hard to defend if conditions ease out further under lights like yesterday

They are not going to score more than 150 .

 

[Devadwal]

Good fielding by Shadab

 

[7sins]

Good fielding by Shadab

Yeah he is playing as a fielder

 

[shortbread]

Shadab's body language looks very different whenever he performs with the bat.

 

[boomboomcheema]

No matter how much the conditions wase, this is an associate level side with very less experience. Pakistan still should be able to defend the score . Can't ask the Batsmen to score 400 against Dutch to keep it comfortable

 

[emranabbas]

Good job need to keep the speeds low

 

[emranabbas]

This needs to be an attacking game we can't let them score 5 an over

 

[jnaveen1980]

Singh is a proper heck .don't think he can even score 10 runs

He is too young. Must be overwehelming for him.

 

[Devadwal]

Why is Hasan bowling on the pads? Maybe looking for Leg before wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why is Hasan bowling on the pads

Don't think it is intentional. He is also going after glory ball. That is typical of Pak bowlers. When it works they will look like million bucks.

 

[7sins]

Hassan ali where are you bowling dude

 

[Syed1]

Boys ki Indian opener dekh kay pack hogayi

 

[Devadwal]

Don't think it is intentional. He is also going after glory ball. That is typical of Pak bowlers. When it works they will look like million bucks.

It's intentional as four fielder on the leg side

 

[7sins]

Boys ki Indian opener dekh kay pack hogayi

Then that must be some 3rd or 4th class domestic level Indian opener

 

[FearlessRoar]

4 runs from the first over, bowled by Shaheen Afridi

 

[jnaveen1980]

134 full toss. Is he fully fit?

 

[7sins]

There's absolutely nothing in this pitch our batsmen are just pathetic

 

[Devadwal]

I don't think Shaheen is fully fit .he is not bowling like he known for Jaffa after Jaffa

 

[shortbread]

Captain stopped a definite 4

 

[jnaveen1980]

Swing is not happening or he is not trying to swing?

 

[7sins]

134 full toss. Is he fully fit?

Leagues keh Liye tou fit hota hai so I'm sure he's fit

 

[boomboomcheema]

Loose bowling so far..if Pakistan even loses this one , it will be on the bowlers

 

[MenInG]

134 full toss. Is he fully fit?

First ball was 146

 

[shortbread]

Afridi trying too hard, Babar needs to calm him down!

 

[7sins]

Loose bowling so far..if Pakistan even loses this one , it will be on the bowlers

No it will be on batsmen first

 

[emranabbas]

Captain stopped a definite 4

Friends celebrating like they won the worldcup

 

[FearlessRoar]

shaheen is swinging ball beautifully. hope he will get wicket sooner

 

[7sins]

Crap bowling at best

 

[Devadwal]

Swing is not happening or he is not trying to swing?

He has fingure problem if I'm not wrong.

 

[Vikram1989]

Why pak players are huffing and puffing while chasing the ball in a small stadium

 

[jnaveen1980]

Shaheen should stick to test match length until shine wears off.

 

[7sins]

Friends celebrating like they won the worldcup

Bro it's there galli muhalla team most of the players are in because of babar

 

[Thanos]

Does Shaheen struggle against left handed batsmen?

 

[shortbread]

Sometimes Shaheen looks like the burden of the entire team is on him, he needs to calm down and just bowl his lines, not try too hard.

 

[castortroy]

These pitches are so much better under lights.

 

[7sins]

I wonder when pakistan will start panicking this is a road and it will get better for batting now

 

[mominsaigol]

So even singh is better then Pakistan world class openers?

Allah long world cup ahead

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Are we 100 short....

 

[CricketAnalyst]

This is looking very bad for Pakistan. The pitch is a belter, and these Dutch boys have batting depth and belief. I genuinely believe NL will win here.

 

[7sins]

Are we 100 short....

Lol it's was a nothing pitch 340 is normal score here

 

[Syed1]

Ned openers better than our crap gilli danda players

 

[castortroy]

One thing is for sure, there is no way pak are defending any total against the better teams on these tracks

 

[Thanos]

Not pitching up to get lbw.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Brainless batting followed up by brainless bowling. As usual, Pakistan lines/length are off.

 

[7sins]

Ned openers better than our crap gilli danda players

Babar loves imam and fakhar what to do

 

[ex-q-zit]

If pakistan lose against Netherlands then they will go on to beat India and even enter the knockouts because Pakistan plays there best when their backs are against the wall. We all know what happened in CT 2017 and last year's t20 WC.

 

[IMMY69]

350 is like 250 under lights

 

[shortbread]

They're well below the RRR, why's everyone panicking?!

 

[7sins]

350 is like 250 under lights

Well captain was aiming for 300 from the start isn't he ? That's just in the mentality

 

[pa1lalwani]

350 is like 250 under lights

So 286 is 200?
